Katharine Kerr is a nice lady, a fellow DAWthor, and a really great storyteller. She needs our help.

I started the first draft of this post with some personal stuff, and then realized it didn't matter; this is a nice lady who tells great stories, and needs us, maybe now more than ever. Take a look.

Donated, and shared. My heart goes out to Kit and Howard. What a terrible situation.

I haven't read Kerr in years but I remember her books fondly. And I remember how much care it took to keep my husband's grandmother in her own home with her husband. Thanks for letting us know about this.

I don't have much, but when I went to check earlier, it was sitting at $11,995, so I kicked in $5 to hit the goal. Happily, it is almost $1,000 more than that, now. Yay for community.

This was supposed to be a comment on another person's LJ entirely (I said this much to you on Twitter earlier), but it's true, so I'll leave it be, I suppose. Teach me to have multiple tabs of LJ entry comments open at one time.

Agreed. Community is awesome.

Signal-boosted! She sounds like a brave and devoted lady, and I hope for the best for her and her husband.
